CLC to Hold One Day National Strike Over Anti-Inflation Plan
Canadian Labor Congress leaders announced a planned one day national strike to protest the federal anti inflation program. CLC President Joe Morris said a date would be set after an officers meeting next Thursday. The plan seeks broader participation beyond CLC members including unorganized workers pensioners and students. The government has offered to withdraw the program before three years if inflation falls to four percent. The Supreme Court previously upheld the program as a national emergency in inflation. No sanctions will be imposed on unions that opt out.
